Need A
Club
House?
Due to the lack of funds in the ;
recreational budget, the Brevard j
Country club has been closed by j
the town of Brevard. However, I
a group of civic-minded citizens j
is attempting to keep the club
house open for use as a Commu
nity recreational center.
The only charge the town is
making for the use of the club
is the cost of the lights, and Boy
Scouts of the community are I
cleaning and renovating the!
building.
Mrs. Ruth Hill is heading the
group that is working to promote
the use of the building by vari-j
otis organizations, and interested j
persons are asked to contact her
at 883-2577.
Directors of the Brevard Lit
tle Theatre are investigating the
situation, and members of the
Art league plan painting ses
sions at the club.
Tuesday night the building
was used by the youth group for
a square dance.
According to Town Manager
Bill Edens, efforts are being
made to lease the golf course to
an individual or individuals, and
it is hoped that this can be done
in the immediate future.
Mrs. Hill said that she was in-;

work they are doing. Any other
